According to researchers, Botulinum toxin, or Botox, injections can help to reduce the frequency of chronic migraines. Compared to those treated with a placebo, migraine suffers experienced 1.6 fewer attacks per month following Botox injections. Read More
Researchers have identified a new active botulinum neurotoxin. The discovery could lead to the development of new protein therapeutics. Read More
A new study backs up previous research regarding the effectiveness of ketamine in treating depression. Additionally, researchers identified antidepressant effects in Botox, Diclofenac and Minocycline, drugs commonly used for other purposes. Read More
A new method of growing neural networks from stem cells is capable of detecting the activity of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins and could help to minimize animal research. Read More
Researchers report botox may spread from the injection site to produce symptoms consistent with botulism, including muscle weakness and breathing problems. Read More
Researchers pinpoint a method to neutralize the Botox toxin. Read More
A new study reports Botox treatments temporarily block proprioceptive feedback, essentially making it difficult for others to read emotion from facial expressions. Read More
